Halloween.

I dislike halloween. The scary masks, the haunted houses and anything that is scary. I just don't understand why people get a joy out of being frightened. I just have never liked it. I get that it's a great way to show you individuality, but why can't you do that on a regular basis? I feel like you don't need a certain date of the year to show your inner self through a costume. If you want to wear a costume, then wear a costume. You do you. 

Another thing I never got was why do little kids go around saying "trick or treat" to people who are totally will to spend money on kids who they don't even know. And it seem to me, they might as well just say "treat" because every house I've ever been to has given me a treat, so whats the point of adding the "trick" to the end of it? Who the heck is going to be so cruel to trick a ten year old child, when all he wanted was a kit-kat bar?  And honestly, what happened to the logic your mother told you when she said not to take candy from strangers? 

While I might not like the idea of halloween, I still go to parties and go trick or treating because I am not lame and Halloween is just a few steps closer to Christmas and I'm getting ready for the happiest time if year. Happy Halloween everyone, try your best not to make stupid decisions and be safe out on the streets tomorrow night.

-also halloween movies are pretty movies, so load up on those tomorrow.

News Flash; School Is Important

I know by the title of this post, a lot of you may disagree. So before I state my side of this topic, I'm going to support your side.

School is stressful, I know. I have a hard time with school every year and it sucks. What you may be thinking is right.  Teachers don't understand how you have to balance extracurricular activities, a job if you have one, home work and more things you might have to deal with. I myself have to balance my job, the play that I'm in, homework, and chores I do around my house. Also it sucks trying to get sleep within all of this stuff. I get it. But the thing is, a majority of the teacher you will have are doing this for your benefit. Sure, some teachers or professors may just be there for the money as a last resort job, but a good portion of them actually care about you. So my point I'm going to make is that no matter how much you may hate the "useless" classes you're taking, they are going to make a difference in your future.

Many times a day I hear the words "where am I going to use this in the real world" from my classmates and peers. You are going to use it more then you may think. It's not necessarily the lesson you learn in geometry, it could be the way you pay attention to detail of what your teacher may say. Its not alway just about the story of The Odyssey, but the way that you interpret the language it is written in. Another thing that gets me confused, is why do people who have huge plans to be a doctor or a scientist, complain about not needing what they learn? To be a cardiovascular surgeon (a heart surgeon) you need about four or more years of a university. Not including all of the under graduate programs you might have to try a few years to get into, because they are pretty hard to be accepted into. After finishing the four or more years of college, you have to go through three to five years of specialized medical school to become a cardiovascular surgeon. And what classes are you going to need to pass your SAT to even be considered for a place at that school? Biology, math, chemistry, english, etc. Yes the stress is hard on you but you need to consider the possibilities of what could happen if you just blow off the work you have to do at school, because if you decide that you don't want to put up with the "stupid subjects" you have to go to during the day and drop out, I'll see you when you're flipping patties at McDonalds at the age of 30. 

-something I want to add to the end of this is, that this is my opinion and I just wanted to voice it freely. You may not agree, and thats fine, but no arguments please and thank you. 

Body Images Issues

Since a young age I've never really like the way I looked. All of the other girls in my school were really skinny and had long beautiful blonde hair, and I hadn't lost any of my baby fat and I had short brown hair. I was called "Dora" by the whole class of 2018. Fifth grade is when it really started. Before then I just didn't really care about the way I looked because I never thought it was ever going to matter. Well to me it did start to matter. I remember one day after school I walked to my grandmas house because I didn't want my parents to know that I was so upset about the kids calling me mean names. I cried to my grandma that day, and even though I told her that it made me feel better, it didn't because the words my grandma said didn't make me lose weight. 6th grade rolled around and things changed. Girls around me were hitting their growth spurt and getting taller skinnier and getting boobs an a butt. All I had at that time was a round tummy and a thick thighs. I got my first boyfriend that year, but he broke up with me two days later because "his parents said he wasn't allowed to date". I found out that day that he had a new girlfriend. I was upset, but I knew what was going to happen anyways. All through 6th grade this kind of thing happened and I just came to realize that know one wanted to be friends with the fat girl. 7th grade was the same, only I found a great group of friends who didn't care what a looked like. I started developing a crush on one of them, and yeah I told him and yeah it broke my heart when he rejected me, but like every crush I had before him, I ended up with a middle school heartbreak. At that point I actually started getting really self conscious with the way I looked. I never did anything about it though. 8th grade comes and everything goes to hell in a handbag because I hated the way I looked so much that all I wore was sweatpants ant think t-shirts. Acne got bad around this time too, keeping me from wanting to go out in public at all. This year I met my current boy friend who I never thought would be the first boy to make me feel beautiful (but thats a different story, we'll get to that later). 9th grade was the year my best friend and I became BFFs. She helps more then anyone ever. She made me feel like I was worth something. She helped me learn to love myself. Since then I am working on my self confidence by changing my diet and working out 3 days a week. It's hard but it's beyond worth it. At the beginning of 2014 I was about 180 lbs, it is now October of 2015 and I am around 165 lbs. I am myself and I'm being the best me I can be.


                                            I am Beautiful. I am Worth It. I am Strong.
                                                      And I never let myself forget that.

First Post !!!!

Sometimes I write.

Sometimes I sing.

Sometimes I play softball.

I am Madalyn Anderson and this is my blog. This is my first time trying to do anything like this, but I got this idea from the show Awkward (cliche I know). Before I actually start blogging about my life and a bunch of stupid things that go through my mind over the course of a day at school, I thought I might tell you about myself. 

I think I am a nice person, but a few people might disagree. One thing you must know about me before you decide to read this is that, I am extremely opinionated. And another thing I really need to put out there is that I am not looking for arguments on anything that I say on this Blog. If I say something on here that you don't agree with, please hold back from starting any stupid argument. I am not trying to change your mind or make you thing what I think. I am using this Blog as a place where I can freely voice my opinions and beliefs without harassment, because we all know I can't do that on Twitter or Instagram without all of the unwanted drama. With that being said, I am not trying to say that I have the right to freely bash people, because that it NOT my intention here. My intention is to have a place where I can freely say something with out hurting anyone or "asking" for unwanted opinions. 

A few small things about me is that, I live in Michigan and I hate it here. I am 15 years of age and I'm currently a sophomore in high school. I have 4 honest best friends and one of them is my boyfriend. We haven't been dating for very long but he makes me happy so it doesn't matter. I love music with all of my being. Lana Del Rey Melanie Martinez, The Neigbourhood, Arctic Monkeys, and all of the other sad music you can think of. I am a feminist and I am beyond proud to be one. I also am 100% rooting for Bernie Sanders for 2016. One last thing I am going to say before finishing up the terrible into to myself, is that people are naturally mean, so that should be reason enough to do your best at being nice and kind to people who might not even deserve it.
